Thc oldest Woman in France.

Who is she? The Oldest woman in
France. perhaps in the world. She was
born March Is. 17G1, and is, therefore,
125 years old. Impossible? Indeed, it
is undoubtedly true. Any one who
cares may for himself see the authentic
record of her birth. Itis 10 be found in
the parish register os ST. just dc Cia;x
in the Department Of the Isere.
The venerable woman still lives there
in the small village Of &pberive en- Roy
ans. Has she any family? l believe
not. Size had one son, who died in
1910. being then So years old. Her
maiden name was Marie DuraEd, and
she WAS married when mere child.
Her husband died, and she took a sec
ond. his name being Girard.
They lived at Auberive until 1914.
when The Austrian army invaded the
Iscre country. Then she dressed in
man. clothes, and, with her husband,
Ged 10 the sea- They were feliow-sail-
ors on shiphoard for seven years with

her husband was killed in brawl, and
she slew his murderer, and :hen returned

Two or three years ago. Since then her
sight has failed. SO that size IS no longer

for some time been 200 feeble to leave
her bed. So tie parish has hired

The Love and Respect of Children

If mothers could only realize what 3
critical period their children are passing
through from the third to the sixth
year, they would exercise more than
ordinary care during that time. Not
only physically bat mentally and NOR
ally are they undergoing change; a
change for better or worse, according
to the care and attention they receive
from their mothers and fathers A
father is 10 more excmp. from certain
duties towards his offspring than the
mother. lie should always bear in
mind that his assistance in the control
of the children is of moro value TO his
tired wife than the presentation TO her
of a costly gilt. 1t is at this time tlist
children begin to notice papa's and
mammals bearing towards one another;
let this always be one OF perfect court
esy and respect. Nothing SO quickly
destroys respect for parents as constant
pickering in the presence Of their chill
ircn. The first thing child should be
taught is respect ior his parents and
elders; affection comes naturally with
most children and is Tie most valuable
aid in gaining control CT their actions;
next to that is respect, without it very
little can be accomplished for the cili,d's
welfare. Parents should bear this in
mind that children lose respect very
soou upon hearing them disagree; using
bitter. cutting words 10 each other. This
IS inlic;ing the first actual pain these
baby hearts have been called upon 10
bear. In the presence of this the child
experiences conflicting emotions. which
ends in pity for one parent and cor
tempt for :l.s ether. o parent pause,
consider before you lose this hold on
the little being who has heretofore con-
s,dered you perfect Les there be
uuanimity OF purpose in act, word and
deed before these little creatures. who

Parlors That Crush Ont Home Life.

Did you ever hear of tyrannical par
lors? The costly carpets and curtains.
the expensive ornaments, give a sub
Gucd tone to the room destructive to real
hospitality and good times. A neigh
borhooI social met from house TO house.
One of The members was bright boy;
his mother had one Of those tyrannical
parlors. gwen up to formality and short
calls. The bright boy said at one of
the meetings: Il would like to invite
you to my house. but VIC never have
good times in our stuck-up craving
room" Tho little fellow felt the differ
ence between his own homo surround
ings and that of some others of the So
cial club. At one house the wise par
cnts made the parlor so attractive that
the boys and girls of the family said
they would rather be at home than
anywhere else" The carpet was not
too nice to dance on or even TO play
blind mans buff. Tic chairs and tables
were not heavy and cumbersome, but
were light enough to be tucked away,
leaving q clear space. The children
were encouraged TO get up charades aud
tablcaux. a magic lantern exhibition
added variety. and nov and then a
card party. ''But that was very wrong"

mother took hand in the game and
there was not SO much danger the chill
dren would seek questionable pleasures

HOW ANTS LIVE.
Thei- Lovo of C;sani.noss and Their ssadcs
uf I:nriNi.

IN spite OF the mu!t;farious duties aud
tasks that are imposed on these tiny
burglars. they still find time 10 clean
aud adorn their worthy l!t;lc persons,
says s: writer in the Cosmopolitan. No
spot. no atom OF dust or anything else
GEcleanly will they tolerate on their
bodies. They get rid OF the dirt with
the brushy ;uit, on their feet or with
their tongue. They act, for all the
world. Ike domestic cats when they
clean and lick themselves; and they as
sist one another at the toilet precisely
like MONKEYS. Their sense OF cleanli-
ness goes so far that the naturalist often
finds. to his unpleasant surprise, the
colored marks that ne had applied with
SO much care on his trial ants" re-
moved by their dirt-hating friends.
They keep their dwelling just as cleanly.
But the conveying away of their de-
ceased brethren. whose dead bodies they
appear to regard with the greatest anti
pathy, gives them more trouble than
anything else. When some members
of an ant community, which Mr.. Cook
kept imprisoned, died and could not be
removed. those remaining seemed af-
fected with the greatest horror. For
days the insects ran about seeking
way out, and ceased only when COM
pietely exhausted. The ants belongin
10 the conpouotus species seized the
dead ani threw them into watcr-pail,
which they converted into scpulcher.
Ordinarily, though. the ants are said to
treat their dead with more reverence.
They even possess their own graveyards.
which lie in the vicinity of their nests.
They convey their deceased companions
;hithcr, where they lay them down in
orderly little heaps or in rows.
1t is only the corpses of their fellows,
however, that they treat in this man.
her. Dead strangers they throw out
like something unclean, or tear tho
body in pieces. Even between the
master and slaves of the same CON-
n,unity Miss Treat says she has observ-
ed dlssimiliar mode of burial While
the masters find their last repose in a
special graveyard. side by side, the
slaves lie like heaped-up refuse near
the nest. despised equally in death as in
life.
The ant cemeteries are often thickly
populated. for their life is short the
male lives only through one summer; the
females live somewhat longer. and the
workers die of old age in the Sth or 10th
year.

The Hand of = Thief

The present rage for palm,5try recalls
an incident which occurred half 4 dozen
years since n: Bar H;rbor. There were
staying at one OF the hotels 4 pretty
young widow from Baltimore who was
vcrsed IN tie secrets Of chiromancy and
a young kentuckian who was par en-
.ccllcncc The lion OF the season. The
widow for some reason or o;her had
taken whimsical dislike 10 the popular
.scutherrer and hardly acknowledged
an acquaintance with him; YET be one
day yentured to ask hcT 10 read his
mind, US she had already Geciphered
the palms of half the people N the
house. They lady first derlurrcd, but
at length thinking, as she afterward ex-
planned, that it was simpler to DO rs she
was asked than TO contest the point, she
requested the gentleman 10 show her
his hand.
He did SO, and, with an Involuntary
start of surprise and a trankness wbich
was evidently genuine, she exclaimed:
"Why, it is the hand of thiefI' As
the interview took place upon the piazza
in the presence Of a group of boarders.
the position OF the young man was
sufficiently awkward one, but he did
not finch. As the lady checked herself
in evident confusion be responded with
the most perfect tact and self. control:
